LONG BEACH, Calif., Oct. 22, 2024 – Molina Healthcare of California (“Molina”) has announced a partnership with Vheda Health in support of enhanced access to care for those living with conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
“At Molina, we are committed to providing high-quality care to our members, particularly those struggling with chronic conditions,” said Katie McMahon-Talavera, AVP of quality improvement at Molina Healthcare of California. “We are proud to work together with Vheda Health to close care gaps and help improve clinical outcomes while advancing health equity in underserved areas.”
Through this partnership, Molina members will have access to a virtual care platform that provides digital touchpoints, daily check-ins, and education modules tailored to their health needs, as well as:
- Remote monitoring devices such as glucometers and blood pressure cuffs that provide real-time data to both the member and care teams,
- Health coaching from clinical experts who provide guidance and support through virtual interactions, helping to maintain adherence and keep patients on track, and
- Daily reminders and motivational content, making it easier to stay engaged with health goals.
The platform also integrates data analytics to predict risk and ensure early intervention, proactively addressing complications before they escalate. Designed to be fully mobile, it allows members to access care from wherever they are. The app acts as a centralized hub for health management, offering seamless communication between members and their care teams.
Key features include telehealth consultations for virtual visits with health care professionals, 24/7 access to care teams, and real-time data integration from devices, ensuring that care providers have immediate access to important health metrics, even in remote areas with limited access to in-person care.
“Vheda Health is humbled to bring over 11 years of best-in-class member engagement and clinical outcomes to this partnership,” said Bradley Marks, chief client officer of Vheda Health. “By connecting the dots for those in the program, we are committed to ensuring they achieve improved health outcomes.”
Through this virtual care platform, 76% of users with hypertension have achieved blood pressure control within the first six months of engagement, and 65% of users with diabetes have demonstrated a reduction in HbA1c levels within three months.
